230. County Lieutenant Liu Rengui (Part 2)

Jing Wen was surprised when he heard the county magistrate's self-introduction. Because he had heard of this name in later generations, the person represented by this name is not simple. Jing Wen heard from a TV program in later generations that there was a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, a famous general in the navy. He once defeated the coalition forces of Japan and Baekje with naval forces in the war between the Tang Dynasty and Japan, which was awe-inspiring world.

In ancient China, there was always a tradition of attaching importance to the army and despising the navy. The famous generals of the army were like stars in the sky, and there were countless. However, there were only a few famous generals of the navy. The more famous ones were Zhou Yu during the Three Kingdoms period, and Chen Yourong who defended Taiwan three times in the Ming Dynasty. Finally, it was Liu Rengui of the Tang Dynasty. The rest were not some real navy troops, at most they were Marines.

The ancients said that a saint was born in five hundred years. In the thousands of years of history, there were only a few famous naval generals who could truly achieve great military achievements. This ratio is probably harder than a saint who appeared every five hundred years. Therefore, Jing Wen remembered this famous naval general of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that he later became the prime minister and became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty!

"Mr. Jing?" Liu Rengui asked again, obviously he noticed that Jing Wen was a little dazed.

"Oh? So it's brother Liu Rengui! You are so arrogant! I, the Minister of Rites, are just a vain title. I am just a close minister who makes money in front of the emperor. As for you, Lord Liu Rengui, you really lead the people to prosperity and peace together, this is the real hero!" Jing Wen said.

"I dare not be accused of it, sir, you will be on a mission to the Turks and return to my hometown for more than 100,000 people in the Tang Dynasty. This is a great merit. What is this matter?" Liu Rengui also said with emotion.

Obviously, both of them admire each other. Jing Wen is because of Liu Rengui's historical achievements, and Liu Rengui is because Jing Wen can help more than 100,000 people return to China. This is a great merit.

Jing Wen took the initiative to find a chair and sat down. Then he asked, "Sir Liu, where did you do things before?"

"Liu Rengui took the initiative to say that he was a county lieutenant in Chencang County. Later, I heard that because the county town had just been established, I needed some county magistrates, so I took the initiative to write to the Shangshu Province and asked me to come here to serve as a county lieutenant. And when I was promoted, the Shangshu Province moved me here." Liu Rengui said.

This county can be said to be treated as a Beijing county and has a relatively high political status. Liu Rengui was able to be transferred from an ordinary county, that is, he was promoted from an ordinary county to a county directly under the central government. Although his positions are the same, his level has been improved a lot, which can be considered an promotion.

"Does Lord Liu have any ideas in the future? Do you plan to continue working here, or do you want to enter the center to accumulate qualifications?" Jing Wen asked.

Jing Wen had the idea of ​​recommending Liu Rengui. In history, Liu Rengui was only able to achieve success when he was old, and he was almost buried in the first half of his life. So Jing Wen planned to recommend this great man who was proficient in military and politics to the emperor so that he could rise as soon as possible. As long as he rose, he would have a "fake friend" at the level of prime minister in the future, and the emperor would also value himself. Then he could be said to be much safer.

Moreover, if Liu Rengui can be reused, it means that he has made merit for recommendation, which is a merit. In the future, Liu Rengui will still repay his kindness, which is a certainty. In the officialdom, for those who recommend themselves, they are half of their mentors, and they cannot easily oppose him. This is a problem of traditional morality. If they oppose others who recommend themselves, it means that they will repay kindness and revenge, but they will be seriously despised. And if they repay kindness and revenge, who dares to reuse you in the officialdom in the future? Who dares to trust you?

"Sir, I just want to do something for the people here first, and what development will be in the future will be the future. Since I have come and become this county lieutenant, I must do this county lieutenant well. Don't think about being fickle or being promoted to three levels in a row. As an official, you must first do your part, and don't think about promotion." Liu Rengui said.

Jing Wen nodded secretly. Liu Rengui was indeed very pragmatic, and would not think about upgrading to three levels in a day. Although it sounds good, it is actually a way to boost growth. Moreover, this will also lead to a lot of trends. A truly pragmatic official is an official who can be good for the people. It is no longer a strange thing that Jing Wen is a man who has won three levels in a row. He traveled to the Tang Dynasty and has been promoted from an inequality ninth-rank official to the current sixth-rank official for more than a year. If we count the four small levels from the upper and lower levels, it can be said that he has been promoted to more than ten levels in a row.

Although Jing Wen is like this, he doesn't like other officials, because he knows that being pragmatic is the most important thing. Back then, Jing Wen was also a stubborn citizen. What the stubborn citizen really liked was actually a pragmatic official, not an official who was thinking about promotion all day long. Officials who could be pragmatic and rooted in the grassroots level were the officials who could truly win the hearts of the people. Liu Rengui was a pragmatic official, so Jing Wen was very impressed. However, Jing Wen did not give up on his idea of ​​handing him over, because Jing Wen still had to take care of him in the future.

"Mr. Jingwen, in the future, you are by the emperor. I hope you can talk about Pinglu County more and hope the court can pay attention to it. This is your fief of Lord Jingwen!" Liu Rengui said.

Jing Wen was also cursing: "Old fox!"

Jing Wen is no longer the first brother in the officialdom he had just traveled through. After all, he had been in the officialdom. Although he was not in depth, he understood a little. Liu Rengui meant that he wanted Jing Wen to help him mention Pinglu County in front of the emperor. Then the emperor could pay attention to this county. Wouldn't the officials in his county be valued? Although Liu Rengui was pragmatic, under the ancient system of emperor dictatorship, of course, the emperor should know your achievements. Liu Rengui wanted Jing Wen to help him speak in the central government, so Liu Rengui was considered "someone in the court". Jing Wen was a close minister of the emperor, so of course Liu Rengui had to make friends.

Jing Wen didn't dare to underestimate Liu Rengui. After all, in history, he was able to be prime ministers. How many fools could he be prime ministers? Therefore, these people are all monkey spirits and monkey spirits, so they can't be underestimated, otherwise who would know when they were sold and they would count the money for them!
